Back in Shibuyu, Su Zifang told Xue Yi about the matter and asked if there was any solution.

Xue Yi just shook his head: "Strictly speaking, this matter is indeed a dispute between the Jinling Hotel, and you should not interfere."

"It's just that Ma Jiang is an exception. He is now working as a chef in the store, so Chai Yutang didn't say anything."

"But... hum!"

Xue Yi snorted coldly and showed dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"The older generation doesn't care about their craftsmanship, but they follow the rules so tightly. Sooner or later it will be over!"

Su Zifang stood stunned, unable to believe that it was Xue Yi who said these words.

In his impression, Xue Yi had never said such harsh words, and this was the first time he was so angry.

Just as he was about to ask, Xue Yi's conversation had already turned to Ma Jiang.

"Since there is a banquet at the Jingling Hotel, you don't have to worry about the business in the store these two days. Just concentrate on preparing the dishes."

"On that day, I will go there in person to see what tricks Chai Yutang can play!"

After hearing these words, Su Zifang suddenly felt calm.

With Xue Yi present, let alone what Chai Yutang wanted to do, even a top chef in Jingling would have to give Xue Yi some face.

At this time, Su Zifang sighed again, it was indeed good to have a reputation.

Just showing up gives people a sense of security.

I couldn't help but look forward to what would happen after I won the championship in the Kitchen Olympiad and became the honorary consultant of the Fishing Hotel.

When the time comes, he will be the one who decides life and death, right?

Thinking of this, Su Zifang vaguely understood why so many people like to make their own rules.

Really, so cool!

"Huh? Did you hear what I just said?"

Xue Yi's voice came slowly. Su Zifang suddenly realized that he had been distracted.

He quickly lowered his head and looked at Xue Yi in shame.

"Master, I didn't hear you clearly just now, can you say it again?"

Xue Yi sighed, showing a bit of hatred for iron.

If it weren't for the fact that his cheap apprentice had already won the first place in the National Young Chef Forum without any careful teaching and showed such disrespect for teachers, he would have kicked him out of the door!

However, seeing that he stood firm and had a clear attitude on the Ma Jiang matter, Xue Yi decided to forgive him.

Open your mouth again.

"Actually, the matter of Jingling Hotel is half an old rule in the chef industry. However, due to the current labor laws and frequent personnel turnover, many restaurants have given up on it."

"Of course, there are some old-school restaurants that refuse to give up, and many people suffer from it, such as..."

Xue Yi pondered for a moment and said a name that even Su Zifang had not expected.

"Liu Yongan."

When this name was spoken, Su Zifang was really shocked.

He and Xue Yi inquired about Liu Yongan's life experience once, but were told that he would be told at the right time. Unexpectedly, the right time was now.

Xue Yi continued to tell a story that perhaps only he and Liu Yongan knew.

Liu Yongan is the grandson of Chef Liu of the Cantonese restaurant Baofulou. Both his grandfathers are excellent Cantonese chefs and have won countless domestic awards and even several gold medals from foreign awards.

The chefs of many restaurants in Chinese districts abroad are chefs who worked at Baofu House.

Listening to Xue Yi's words, a familiar but unfamiliar restaurant suddenly appeared in Su Zi's memory.

Baofu Tower.

A Cantonese restaurant established nearly 200 years ago, and together with Kaiyuan Restaurant, it is known as the two treasures of Cantonese cuisine.

It is a classic Cantonese restaurant that almost every gourmet in Guangdong Province knows.

Since its establishment, it has always insisted on making traditional Cantonese cuisine. Although it does not have the young diners brought by innovative dishes, it has always firmly controlled the organization of high-end banquets and reunion banquets.

When Su Zifang was still studying in Lao Nanfang, Baofulou was still a well-known restaurant.

But by the time he graduated, news of bankruptcy had already spread.

External rumors are relatively scattered.

It is said that the boss of Baofu Tower owed 1.5 billion and ran away with his sister-in-law.

It is also said that the chefs at Baofulou left the restaurant en masse due to unfair treatment, causing the restaurant's reputation to plummet and regular customers to stop coming.

The most exaggerated thing is that the boss of Baofulou saw that the takeout business was booming, so he switched careers and joined the Internet, sold his house and started a business, but lost all his money.

…

However, after Xue Yi finished telling the real situation, Su Zifang finally understood what it means to become a tiger with three people.

I also have a deeper understanding of how capable those unscrupulous self-media editors are.

It’s really just the opening picture, and the content is all edited.

According to Xue Yi, there is actually only one reason for the decline of Baofu Tower, and that is Liu Yongan's father being a bad person.

Liu Yongan was his father's child by his first wife. After Liu Yongan's mother died unexpectedly, his father remarried and married a new wife.

This new wife behaved very well after her marriage and helped Liu Yongan's father run the business of Baofulou in an orderly manner.

The entire Baofu Building, from the waiters to the cooks, all spoke highly of the new proprietress.

However, only Liu Yongan was wary of his stepmother.

At that time, everyone felt that Liu Yongan was in his rebellious phase, which was why he acted like this, and they all offered words of comfort.

However, Liu Yongan was stubborn and refused to accept this stepmother.

As time went by, everyone became somewhat helpless towards Liu Yongan's performance, and could only accept him and leave.

On the contrary, I am very used to calling this new boss lady.

However, just when everyone thought Liu Yongan's father could take Baofulou further, an accident suddenly happened!

Liu Yongan's stepmother didn't know where to find a piece of evidence that Liu Yongan's father had cheated on her, and she took Liu Yongan's father to court and asked for a divorce and for him to clean up and leave the house.

The two sides refused to give in to each other and hired lawyers to argue with each other in court.

The result of the matter was also very bloody.

After several months of ruling, the court finally ruled that the two parties were divorced and their property was divided equally.

Because Liu Yongan was an adult and made his own active choice, he did not follow either party.

Baofu Building, as a joint property of husband and wife, should be sold and divided equally at the mutual request of both parties.

Since then, the century-old store Baofulou has ceased to exist.

Liu Yongan's father failed to recover and ended up depressed.

The chefs at Baofulou also went their separate ways, some went to Kaiyuan, others went to unknown corners, and some were allowed to make a living abroad.

This matter of property division caused a stir in the chef circle and became the main reason why many chefs considered being single.

I am afraid that Liu Yongan is the only one who still talks about restoring the glory of Baofu Tower.

After Xue Yi said this, Su Zifang finally understood why Liu Yongan could become so philistine and smooth at a young age, and suddenly understood why Xue Yi concluded that Liu Yongan was a good boy without saying a few words after meeting him.

If we look at it from normal perspectives and logic, Liu Yongan's various performances can really be called a good boy.

But Su Zifang was still a little puzzled.

Now we are obviously talking about Ma Jiang, why should we involve Liu Yongan?
